Altcoin swap risk disclosure

This disclosure is general educational information. It is not exhaustive and does not determine whether a transaction is appropriate for any person.

Asset and market risk

Altcoins and stablecoins can lose value rapidly. A stablecoin can trade away from its target. Thin liquidity, volatile markets, large orders, token taxes, or transfer restrictions can produce a materially different result from an initial quote.

Smart-contract and permission risk

Swap contracts, token contracts, routers, permit systems, aggregators, and bridges can contain bugs, malicious logic, upgrade controls, or unexpected interactions. Token approvals and signed permits can authorize spending beyond a single transaction.

Network and execution risk

Transactions can fail, remain pending, be replaced, execute at an unfavorable price within allowed limits, or consume fees without producing the intended result. Network reorganizations, congestion, outages, and RPC failures can affect status information.

Cross-chain and bridge risk

Cross-chain routes add verification, custody, relayer, liquidity, finality, and wrapped-asset dependencies. A source action may complete while a destination action is delayed or fails. Recovery procedures vary by system.

Counterparty, issuer, and regulatory risk

Centralized exchanges, stablecoin issuers, custodians, front ends, API providers, and infrastructure services may restrict access, pause operations, change terms, or fail. Legal and tax treatment varies by jurisdiction and may change.

Security risk

Phishing, look-alike domains, malicious tokens, compromised devices, unsafe browser extensions, fake support contacts, and seed-phrase theft can lead to irreversible loss. No interface design guarantees legitimacy.

Only transact after independently verifying the URL, chain, token contracts, permissions, recipient, route, expected output, and fees. Never share a seed phrase or private key.
